Hacking the Ipaq RW6100 CDMA PPC ROM?
I have an Ipaq RW6100 which is only avaiable in Korea.
http://www.ipaq.co.kr/product/rw6100/index.asp
It is awesome. pxa270 520 CPU, wifi, 260K LCD, Sharp 1.1 megapixel CCD Camera, 128 ROm, 64 RAM. Now running on wm2003se.
Surprisingly, the current ROM version of my Rw6100 does NOT support landscape function. u know, no landscape function certainly compromise the wifi internet browsing.
so i want 2 upgrade the rom. upgrade (the official way) is done on pc with ipaq is usb synced with desktop PC.
unfortunately, upgrade program needs to confirm the ipaq is correctly plugged with ac adapter. So it needs the orginal cradle, coz Rw6100 has no separate ac port. charging or usb sync is both done through the same port with different cable. Only the cradle can handle ac charging and usb sync at the same time.
I have only the usb sync cable and the ac adapter, but not the cradle. these two simply can not plug into the same port concurrently. usb sync and usb charging together can not fool the upgrade program.
Can anyone help? btw, i can not enter usb remote update mode with usual key pressing on HP PPCs. neither do i succeed running the enterbootloader.exe file and manually put the rw6100 into bootloader mode.
I have looked into the official rom. It is a 128M NBF file (coz this Ipaq has 128M ROM). If it is a usual NBF file, it is then 32 byte rom info+ROM. in theory, deleting the first 32 bytes will leave a .nb0 wince image. I have done this and leave the new nb0 file onto sd card. (I have found the sd card update method by myself)
the screen says the sd card has no rom image. Failed again. Is it because I have put no bootloader file on sd card too? Because I have no idea of where to get the bootloader file. No luck.
Email to HP Korea proves not much help.
Another reason. This PPC could not have a wince image as large as 128M. Now I have about 78m usable flash space on my current PPC. Is it because i have not successfully ripped off the right-sized wince rom?
Could anyone help rim the correct wince ROM from this 128M ROM update file? I need badly the native screen rotation function in wm2003se.
ROM update address:
http://h50177.www5.hp.com/support/FA294PA/more_info_local_19768.html
it is a 43m exe file download. running on host PC will get a 128M nbf file.
the upgrade proggie is the usual ruu.exe
btw, i have found the following bootloader info by hex editing the 128m nbf file.
enter your selection: R) View SD card
D) Download Image to SD card
L) Launch existing flash resident image now
P) Power Test
C) CPLD GPIO Set Test
W) WLAN Test
K) Flash Lock Status
F) Flash Write Test
E) Flash Erase Test
A) AC97 Test
V) View Memory
I) Download FLASH or SDRAM image through USB
8) LCD Test
USB Boot Loader Configuration:
If i can find out the way of entering it, there will be much hope of successful rom upgrading
Hi all
I will try to recover a dead Lenovo et-960 with JTAG interface so I have a question please:
I know that the eboot.nb0 is a 256KB file which should be on physical address 0x0 right?
So what is the purpose of IPL, SPL and how to know the physical address where they should reside.
Secondly: if I flash the eboot.nb0 to address 0x0 by JTAG will this be sufficient to download the whole rom image by USB (regularly).
Thanks in advance
EBOOT - this is a so-called "boot loader", and boot loader is obsolete on WM5 devices, though it is still supported on devices that are upradeable from WM2003 to WM5 (like Himalaya/BlueAngel). And on some WM5 devices IPL+SPL blocks are still called "eboot".
IPL - "initial program loader". A tiny piece of code that is designed for booting from NAND flash. As you know CPU cannot boot directly from NAND flash (unlike NOR it cannot be accessed randomly), and this piece of code initializes NAND, loads SPL from NAND to RAM and jumps to it. Its size is usually about 2Kb.
SPL - probably "sequential program loader", the larger piece of code that completely initializes hardware, test RAM, etc, finds the NK partition and executes it.
On modern HTC devices functionality identical to old bootloaders is implemented in SPL. On NOR flash IPL is combined with SPL and is still called IPL, but has a large size (at least I think so).
I don't know what hardware your lenovo has, but if it has NOR flash, flashing EBOOT to the start of ROM would be enough. If it has NAND - you need to load SPL to the correct RAM addresses ang jump to it while keeping the keys you use to activate bootloader pressed (in some cases you don't need to press them). Then use normal tools to reflash IPL/SPL on your device.
Thank you very much for your detailed response. I didn't know this issue regarding NAND Flash roms.
Regarding my Lenovo's hardware:
Windows mobile 2003SE
CPU : Intel PXA272
ROM: 64MB (in CPU)
RAM: 64MB (2x HYB18L256)
there is no external flash rom but I don't know what type is the internal flash. But I don't think that the internal is NAND, anyway I will check the datasheet.
Thank you again.
Hi,
it's all about a "partially" broken PND running Windows CE 5.0 Core.
This is a Chinese product, called "SmartGPS SG610". Internally, however, it runs "malata.exe" and so, searching the Internet, I have found "Malata PG-74301B", which looks exactly the same as my device. I'm sure there are more units, which are exact copies of it, sold under different brand names.
All I could learn about the hardware / software is:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Type: PORTABLE GPS (Sirf STAR III)
Version: M401I74S2--MAE6S1(Nov 1 2007)
Windows CE 5.0 Core
Processor: Intel ARM920T-PXA27x / PXA270 / 416 MHz
RAM: 64 MB, 100 MHz, 32 Bit, Samsung, Low Power Consumption SDRAM
ROM: 1 GB (NandFlash)
Screen: 4.3", 480x272 (16:9), 16 bit color
Display Type: (pxa27x_lcd.dll) AT043TN01 or/and LTM035A776C
Battery: Lithium Polymerized, 1400 mAh
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some time ago, something happened that partially screwed the installed Windows CE 5.0 Core (and the builtin "\Flash_Storage").
I am still able to use this device, once I force the unit to use an external version of the "explorer.exe" (seems the default "\Windows\control.exe" is broken now) and start the navigation program manually (everything is now kept on the SD card).
What I am looking for is a "Windows CE 5.0 Core system copy / upgrade image" for this particular type of device (some PND manufacturers do provide "Windows CE system image updates", maybe there is something like this for mine, too - but I did not find it up to now).
In fact, if I switch the unit ON while simultaneously keeping two available buttons pressed, I get a bootloader menu (in simplified Chinese) saying "choose download method", and the available options are "USB transmission", "MMC storage card", "CF storage card" (the unit has a USB plug and a SD/MMC card slot, no CF card slot).
The displayed hardware/bootloader version is "M401I74S2--MAE6S1(Nov 1 2007)".
So, I think, all I need it the "proper" (i.e. hardware specific) system image.
Well, the problem is that this unit is out of warranty and the cost for "re-installing Windows" is high enough that it would really be more wise to buy another PND.
If I decide to get another unit - what can I do with the existing one?
Can I run another systems (i.e. NON-Windows-CE) on this hardware?
What options are available (of course, I think I would prefer to "restore" the Windows CE on it)?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Pepe.
Hi XDA geeks , pros and fans !
I'd like to start this new threadline concerning the freshly-appeared TCT MOVE handheld device marketed for the budget segment.As i understand it appeared in march or later this year and has quite good specs for the approx. 100 euro category.
Some details can be found on
http://alcatelonetouch.com/products/smartphones/move
Contrarily to some beliefs IT IS NOT a branded OT-908 ,rather a cosmetized one .It comes in black or silver / white , a bit heavy for it's size , and higher specs than the OT-908.
Concerning the hardware specs, i'll be coming back later with some accurate chipset and sensor details.For now
OS is Android Froyo v2.2.2.Looks like there will be official ROM updates,at the time being there is the OneTouch Upgrade v1.2 ,which downloads about 540 Mb chunked firmware files, and exits with error.
Memory is 512 Mb RAM , for user space is available about 300 Mb
512 Mb ROM flash, available to user about 160Mb.
SD card slot supports up to 32Gb MicroSD, the phone comes with a 2Gb one.
Camera is a 2.1Mpixel one.There is no secondary one,but the main camera is available for video calls,with Yahoo! Messenger i tested it myself.How to use it this way i will explain later.
GPS is amazing , if assistance software is used , the lock-on takes only seconds.
Sensors - linear acceleration sensor
- 3 axis orientation sensor
- 3 channel magnetic field sensor (digital compass)
- light sensor for illuminance detection
- optical proximity sensor , it seems not in use by operating system(or rather poorly)
Processor - 600 MHz Qualcomm ARMv6 compatible, min frequency is 122 Mhz, and deep sleep capability.Qualcomm MSM 7627 chipset
rooting ?
hi djada80.i should like to ask if you managed to root your phone ?
Yeah , it's quite simple.There are in the Android Market some free apps , i think the best which i also use is the one named Ginger Break.Just download and install it.Detailed usage info can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
firmware upgrade
it seems that the branded ones somehow cannot be upgraded ! at this point i need assistance , so PLEASE , if there is anybody experienced in debranding Acatel smartphones, then YOU ARE MOST WELCOME !.I saw guys having problem with debranding T-Mobile Move , so let's DO IT !
cannot sync with windows
i cannot sync my tmobile move with windows.have a toshiba satellite c665 with win 7 .pls help !
connect phone to computer,enable usb tethering.install alcatel android manager on computer. Can be found here
alcatelonetouch.com/contents/download/T-Mobile_AndroidManager_2.2.1108.1645.rar
This should work,instead of Android Sync Manager WiFi ,the last has some issues with this phone ,do not use it.
Yahoo! messenger front camera
Contrarily to some beliefs THERE IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE VIDEO CALLS with front camera only on Froyo 2.2.It is quite simple:
1.) if you have any version of yahoo apps , remove them all
2.) install Y!Messenger v1.3.2 , the afferent audio and video plugin and
optionally Y!Mail v1.3.2
Nothing fancy with it , just works.Remember, DO NOT UPDATE from Market.
Might also check this,if it doesn't work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087769
remove bundled apps ?
Hi !
Is there a way to remove some of the unnecessary factory shipped apps ?
RE
Yes , there is. So the smart method vould be to remove them from phone memory , and eventually install it on SD Card , if they are (and they are) UNMOVABLE.
Or just leave them ,anyway a factory reset will restore all the shipped applications.
1.) [optional] install Android SDK with platform 2.2 , sdk tools and eventually drivers.Enable USB debugging on device.On PC launch command prompt and change directory to \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\.Run command
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
This enables SDCARD installation by default.Prerequisits to have ROOT ACCESS.
2.) with RootExplorer simply delete unwanted applications from \custpack\apps\ on device.Optionally you can make backups.
3.) if you made backups , the backed-up apk can be used to be reinstalled , NOW ON SD CARD
Good luck.
RE again
A reboot of the device is required to cleanup the junk after a forced delete.Or it can be done manually , BUT USE CAUTION.
i have an alcatel move branded Cosmote Move, i like this phone very much but i`ve managed to brick it the second time, first time i bricked and took it to waranty, they reinstall the software free of charge, now it has the same simptoms (pass the carrier logo and get stuck to carrier animation) and i need to send it to waranty again. i dont manage to get it unbricked. i`ve root it with gingerbreak but this phone doesnt go to recovery mode. i`ve searched the internet and google it for hours, but nothing.
if anyone knows how to do it please tell me, in the user manual says hard reset vol - and power, get stuck whit touch buttons light up and screen black!!
thanks in advance
re Themaster
it's not a brick yet i suppose , though you didn't specify how you managed to "brick" your phone.a nice clean reflash would solve the problem , probably you deleted some system files while in root mode.again did you use root explorer or something similar ?
try a factory reset as it follows:
1.) turn off the phone
2.) press vol up and the power on and hold the buttons pressed for about 1 minute
3.) the phone boots up , android logo appears and then an animation with some sort of thrashcan or whatever
4.)wait until it finishes , then the phone shuts down automatically.power on the phone and it will be restored
Beware ,battery must be at least 70 % charged or kept in charger , NOT USB connected to PC.
This restores phone to factory state , but not all the applications from /custpack/apps
Best regards !
Useful Key Combinations
These keypress modes apply on a shut down phone
Hard Reset - reinstalls android core system from ROM , deletes user data and misconfig
key combo : vol up + power on long pressed until trashcan animation appears
Flash Mode - used for ROM update , useless momentarily
key combo: vol down + power on long pressed , black screen appears and touch buttons lit up
Root access , mount filesystem with root access ,DANGEROUS !
key combo : home + power on long pressed until boot
build environment under Ubuntu
Lately, there has been some problems setting up an Android build environment under Lucid Lynx, as i've seen many have been complained for the missing java5 jdk.
For Romanian users: seems to be a problem with the Romtelecom DNS servers , when adding Jaunty or Dapper repositories to Lucid.
Use Google DNS as alternatives 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.This works.
From what I've been able to determine. The move and 908(s) are the same hardware with with only cosmetic differences. Something is different in software, I've been unable to root my 908s with ANY tools I've found.
I was also unable to use ADB under windows. The handset apparently requires four drivers, I was only able to find three of them. I got the Alcatel tools to work, as well as tethering, but no ADB. i didn't have any such issues under Ubuntu, but without root it isn't helpful.
I could not locate a stock rom or source anywhere on the Alcatel sites, so I sent a GPL request, i'm waiting to hear back.
UPDATE
After a long night I managed to root my 908s. I'll write out the jist of it, but I was flying by the seat of my pants, fueled by caffeine and sleep depervation. DON'T consider this a HOWTO.
First off, to the best of my knowlage there is no one click solution as of yet. As I said before still missing the driver that makes ADB work in windows, and handset based solutions didn't pan out. A little reasearch showed that the OT-990 has the same chip/ram and ROM space as ours. The screen is bigger, and I don't know what board is in it, but on a hunch I figured it was close enough. So I went here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164391 in the hopes that some sort of combined effort in future ROM development would be possible.
Yes that's right folks its a guide to MANUALLY root you handset with ADB. So not for the faint of heart. I didn't have high hopes, as issuing ls -l on either the sqlite folder or data threw a permission denied. So blindly I tried to push psneuter, busybox and su to /data/local. I almost fell off my chair when it worked! from there I used psneuter to get ADB into root, and managed to get the su binary to /system/xbin, and Superuser into /system/app. Superuser was installed, but still no root. So I checked out Root Checker to see what was going on. There are three places that su typically lives; /system/xbin, /system/bin, and /sbin. So I tried to put su in those folders. I got it into /system/bin but sbin is mounted read-only. I did not remount any directories, as the instructions are lacking syntax (I'm a little rusty with advanced mounting commands). I think things are mapped a little differently anyway. I still did not have root on the handset, so I then fired up Superuser to see what it could see. It saw the su binary, even though it wasn't working right. Then I thought well if it can see it, then maybe it can update and fix it. Sure enough after running the update to su in Superuser, (drumroll please...) I had working root.
So that's my story so far, I'm gonna give Alcatel a week or so to reply to my request. Then we'll take it from there. (Hey it worked on Huewei right?)
If a real dev should come across this, feel free to jump in. Its a solid little phone and has the potential to work on a range of handsets.
Gratitude
Thanks snkiz for your attention ! I am pleased that someone 'heavy' noticed my efforts of dedicating this threadline to the newcomer ! Indeed a small little phone with potential , maybe in time we get it gingerbread , cupcake ( or whatever ),even wm6.5 or 7 ...
As of ADB drivers , i had ADB from the first by these steps:
1.) http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/contents/download/move upgrade 1.2 Setup.rar , package contains the drivers
Now i noticed that when i try firmware upgrade , the utility downloads about half a giga of *.bin files and then exits with 'download failed error'.
2.) installed Android SDK , platform tools and Google drivers (i am not sure if necessary), the 2.2 platform (api 8)
Under Win7 cmd in platform tools , adb shell , su and on device pops up 'unknown has been granted superuser rights' and voila! in cmd shell i have '#'.Previously installed Gingerbreak.
My device is a Cosmote Move.
Ya, no I got that file too. I think they are "consumer drivers" because like I said I got all the Alcatel tools running but on my win 7 one driver was still missing, and I have pretty good googlefu. effin hate windows, this is why. I'm by no means a "heavy" but I am comfortable in a Linux environment, that helps alot. As to you being able to get gingerbreak to work, i'd bet that comes down to carrier firmware.
---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------
djada, seeing as your the op could you please re-tag the thread with the model numbers to make it easier to find? cosmote, 908, 908s, and qualcom should do.
perhaps a mod could move this thread to the android hacking forum where it can get the proper attention please?
ADB driver
Driver files are from WHATEVER.\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\ , if does not install automatically , can be forced.Anyway Win$ux 7 detects ADB interface , installs some sh.t from windows update server , and you'll have an ADB interface in Device Manager (working or not).Try to force the google drivers.
On the other hand ,i'm sorry but dunno how to move the thread , maybe i should start a new one in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565&order=desc&page=552
Just looked at it and they don't have Alcatel
Mod
Just started workin on a Cyanogen build , if i manage to build at least a kernal img , maybe i can lure in the Koush guy from github.We are in need of flash , backup , recovery tools.Not as lucky as the Samsung or HTC guys ...
Hi all!
i wrote reviews for two devices that are very interesting on checking together.
iPega 9023 rev2 -> Telescopic bluetooth controller for smartphones/phablets/tablets and standalone usage.
Teclast X89
There is a summary of the Teclast X89 Device. (sorry, but i can´t post complete article here, due the limitations of the characters by message on this forum)
_______________________________________________________________________________
[REVIEW] Teclast X89 Baytrail Tablet Dual OS (Windows & Android)
Acknowledgments
To Geekbuyingstore for send me a sample of their product Teclast X89 to test it and write this review.
Note about this review
This article is the first part of the main review of the device. Currently i get bricked the device when trying to update/install a clean windows version, and i can´t keep testing for now, until i found the way to recover it
When i get the device unbricked (if i get this), i will post a second part with steps for recovery, firmware update, tips and tricks for this device.
This article is based on general usage of the device, and for windows get many videos of games running directly on the device itself, for showing what you can expect of this.
For technical info and benchmarking on windows, when i get this device operative again, i will update this article with these sections.
Apologize if the article is not enough informative as you can expect. I'll do my best to bring a second part with more info about this device.
Product showcase(Checking of the external view of the package)
First of all, i never mention about packaging of the store that sent to me their articles, because usually i don´t consider interesting to mention, but this time i will do an exception because i get so pleased about this point.
For this review, Geekbuying sent to me two devices (but i wrote in different articles) that correspond to a suggested (by me) combo for use together:
Tablet Teclast X89
iPega 9023 controller
Both of them come in the same package, but fully protected, first with the typical plastic with bubbles, covering all the content:
Then, there is a bag with protective system for avoiding shocking of the devices.
The package arrives without any kind of problems, with the original packaging of the devices in perfect condition.
I wanted to remark this because is not usual that stores give this attention on the devices they send.
Now, back to the device itself. the packaging of it is simple, but all main texts are in chinese.
In the front we found the name of the product (Teclast tPad), and the Intel logo, that give to us a main clue about what is inside.
Back part is the description of the product in chinese
Note that there is no info about the specific model of the tablet (Teclast X89)
Inside we found the basic distribution of the package
Product information
According with the manufacturer, or searching info on web pages, we can found many sources of information about the device and sometimes these information may be not consistent (may be different from one web page to other), and this may cause some confusion for anybody that wants to get info about this product.
On this section i will post the info i get from the manufacturer (or is not possible, the web page that i consider more reliable), listing only the relevant points for a tech analysis of the product, and omit these points that don´t get any relevant info about the device (as many time we found on many pages, things such video capabilities, mail capabilities, etc, that really are software based features that we can install on the device, and not a real feature of the device itself)
I did not found the official specs on Teclast webpage. There is the specs of the previous version (X89HD), but not for this specific device (Teclast X89, or Teclast X89 Retina Display)

Hi.
The rooting method will not affect to booting selectiong of OS.
of select, power on the device, and after release the power button, press VOL- & VOL+ at the same time.
the device will ask you to select an Operating System.
another way is connect any USB keyboard (via USB OTG cable), and when turning on the device hit quickly and repeat the "supr" key, for entering to BIOS.
once you get on BIOS interface, go to second screen and select "OS Selection" (or something this way, sorry i can´t check now) as first booting method.
This will enable the OS selection screen
check my review (on my blog) and follow the instructions for configuring the bios for select OS, and add more time for pressing Supr (by default is 1 or 2 seconds, i don´t remember. i suggest 4 or 6 seconds)
Greetings!

thanks for the reply,
i try both of your method but no luck,
First, i select power on the device, and after release the power button, press VOL- & VOL+ at the same time. It goes in "dmx" fastboot mode,
Second,
When i enter in bios (supr-del key), in boot manu i have 3 options:
1. UEFI OS (it boots directly to android)
2. Windows boot manager (it boots directly to win)
3. UEFI: built in EFI shell( it opens shell)
can you please check in your tablet what option you have at boot manu?, are they same with mine, what did you select?
What ever i try, i can only boot to android or windows, i cant get screen where i can choose what os to start. Before it was screen this screen
with Operating System selection, but now is gone..
please help!!
p.s in windows now, touch is not working, android is ok.
Thanks

Should i open this program and select something, or is it enough thaat i installed it?
ANd it will be very good if someone who knows to make a tutorial in english to flash new firmware from scratch (instaling dual boot, android, windows) like x98, that is good tutorial.
Thanks

I use google translate, but it is awful, i downlod tutorial pdf file, and translated, but i am afraid that i can make mistake because translation is awful.
If someone who knows chinese and english can translate it right it will be good.
Or someone can confirm that tutorial for x98 3g is the same as this only the files are different, that is also good think to do.
currently, i'm writting a second part of the review, with instructions for flashing the device, installing android and windows (both)
for now, i'm a little bit busy and i can´t give so much time, but let me some days and i will publish this part of the review, for helping flashing the device.

Thanks for everything i manage to repair my tablet by installing dual boot.
If you need help about your review, i can help just tell me. And as suggestions to your review, you can write what apps are safe to remove, so people cant get into trouble like me. Also you can write how can we install only android or only windows, for big storage 32gb to be used only for 1 system
Thanks everybody.
Hibernat does not work
Hello X89 owners,
i also have the newest dual boot retina display version and i am really impressed by the tablet. All works fine and great performance. Only one thing does not work that worked fine for all my other windows tablets i use before. I am not a big fan of connected standby because it still drains battery, so i use "%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState" command to hibernate the devices (because default button is not visible).
Unfortunately it does not work with the teclast x89. If i run "%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState" hibernate command it shuts down the tablet but after reboot it does not restore the hibernate state, it simply boots up normally. I also checked event log having error:
error: Windows failed to resume from hibernate with error status 0xC000000D.
I also tried recreating hiberfil.sys and checking disc consistence. But nothing helped. So can you try this on your devices? I simply want to know if its a general Teclast X89 problem...
Thx and br

Hi Arangato.
I'm doing some testings with MeegoPad T01 (similar baytrail than Teclast), and as you i can´t get this thing to hibernate by command line
messing with the device, in some moment i get an effective hibernate state, but i'm not sure how i get.
in some testings, after unplug the power and connect again, the device boot windows (quick than normal) from scratch, and show me the application i get running previous the sleep (burnout paradise)
i will keep doing tests, but i really don´t know how to replicate for now. This messages really is for confirme that there is some way to do a sleep on this device, but of course, is not the standard way.
i'm thinking now... may be when i sleep the device, i think i keep the power button pressed to shutdown... for long time, after this unplug power source, wait few seconds and plug again. (something like this i did, i think)
keep testing...
"powercfg -h on" should enable hibernate mode
But the difference between a cold boot and hibernate resume is not that long

i tried but did not enabled.
yeah, may be on timing is the same, but there is a good difference. With Hibernating, when you get back, get all the tasks you're doing in the same status (games, work, etc). i really prefer hibernate than complete turn off for this reason.
but thanks anyway.
i recovered the tablet and doing some testings (but for now i´m centered on other devices i must release reviews).
meanwhile, i published the guide for flashing and recover the device, translating the original in chinese, and adding some other stuff that may be useful.
http://manguiro.blogspot.com/2015/03/guide-teclast-x89-installation-guide.html
Note: if your device cannot recover (like mine) with normal steps, or there is some message about corrupt partition table, invalid disk, etc, you must do some manual steps (the flashing tool can´t handle this)
i will put my steps on other article (really, i need to publish another reviews first), but basically i opened the flashing xml file, and check that there are some commented lines that, if you uncomment, the flashing tool will omit anyway, then you must do these steps manually, from fastboot command.
with this, i be able to 100% recover the device. Now i get android and windows working without problems.
hope you found useful.
Touch has stopped working! In windows.

Hey my touch stopped working in windows too.
Anyone have any idea how to fix it? I have only had this for 1 hour and now it is useless for what I got it for...
I need to find out how to restore the touch capabilities to windows. I tried refreshing, it happened after I went to android for the first time.
I've got the Atom Z3736 Win 8.1 version of this but does anyone know if it's possible to install dual boot because this version uses the Z3735?
Because just about all the forums for this device are in Chinese and using Google translate is a nightmare to even find the right people to ask.
com.android.systemui keeps crashing when charging level at 100%
Hello,
recently I get my Teclast X89 tablet, but unfortunately it appeares to have a problem. When the battery charging level comes to 100% (at 99% everything is OK) tablet becomes totally unusable. When the screen is switched off it cannot be waken up and when I use the tablet a window pops up telling that "Process com.android.systemui has stopped", like here:

After restart everything is OK, but it really grinds my gears. Maybe someone know how to fix this problem?
Please halp!

Hello Deen0X, thanks for your reply and explanation. Now i know it seems to be a general problem. If you have a tablet like this connected standby is activated and with this hibernate is also enabled by default (you should find a hiberfil.sys file in C root, its used for fast boot option) so you normally can hibernate with the command i mentioned before: "%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState" this works fine for my other acer win 8.1 tablet (OOTB system) directly after install. But not for the Teclast x89. Of course having a normal boot and restore from hibernate is pretty same time, also fast boot does not have that big impact. I like hibernate because it "freezes" actual system status without draining battery after that.. i often have several browser windows opened, some other metro apps and i like to resume to that state and not to have a clean boot.
@Deen0X: could you check your event log? Is there also the message that device could not restore from hibernation?
So keep me updated, or maybe anybody else can try the "%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState" command to hibernate the teclast x89 dual boot. It will not harm the device. I have the experience if hibernation is disabled and you run this command it simply locks the screen..
Thx and br
